Drainage Project Set

DIGEST

FORT LAUDERDALE - — The city is planning to spend $460,000 in the Durr's neighborhood of northwest Fort Lauderdale for new water lines, street reconstruction, paving and landscaping.

The project will improve drainage and provide sidewalks in the area bordered by Northwest Seventh Street on the south, Eighth Street on the north, 19th Avenue on the east and 20th Avenue on the west.

The plan also calls for some two-way streets to become one-way thoroughfares in the area directly west of the Lincoln Park Complex, and north of the trash transfer station.

The city is upgrading 2-inch water lines with 6-inch lines that will include new fire hydrants. Swales will be built and landscaped.

The project will be paid for with Community Development Block Grants. Work should start in July and be finished by March.
